2023 is coming to an end. This year, we have launched hundreds of TV series in China, among which there are many works of extremely high quality. Of course, there are also some works that are extremely popular on the Internet. I have seen many friends when they conduct the year-end inventory of TV dramas, and they are all heroes based on the popularity of the Internet. Of course, this is a method of inventory, and the fans are happy, as are the authors of the flow-only theory.
Personally, I also have a method of taking stock, of course, this is based on my personal preferences. I feel that among these TV series that will be launched and starred in 2023, the genre is unique, the content has better value of the times, etc., which can be used as a dimension to take stock. Therefore, based on this dimension, I would like to take stock of the eight most praiseworthy TV series works in 2023. These eight dramas are not ranked in order, they are just where they come to mind and where they are written.
Warm, Sweet".
This TV series is directed by Liu Jiang. The play is a play that is easily overlooked by critics. It tells a seemingly plain story, but behind the story, there is a strong humanistic emotion. In the play, the heroes and heroines have a very warm pursuit of humanity. It is especially noteworthy that it is a modern urban drama. It is important to know that modern urban drama works are enlightening to the lives of the audience. This kind of warmth of humanity can really be ** an era.
In my previous film and television drama reviews, I was prone to be harsh on modern urban dramas. Why?It is because of the fact that TV dramas with modern urban themes have the significance of emulating the current life of the audience. For example, when I took stock of the eight most disappointing dramas in 2023, I criticized "Fearless" written by Zhao Dongling - it is precisely because of the large number of mistakes in this modern urban life drama that will mislead the audience's life. Modern urban dramas should really be on par with "Warm, Sweet" directed by Liu Jiang, not engaging in dog blood, but engaging in those warm human content.
*Mission" is a TV series directed by Zhao Baogang. The TV series directed by Zhao Baogang has a very important feature, the camera narrative rhythm is fast, and the plot takes off. This, of course, remains in "** Mission". The greatest value of this "** Mission" is that it tells the current spy war story. In the past, spy war dramas were all against the background of anti-Japanese resistance, or anti-special in the middle of the last century. This time, "** Mission" is current, and the subject matter is very novel. This TV series may bring out a new theme content.
The Long Season
I think this TV series will be included in the list of dramas that many critics have counted at the end of the year. Why do I find this TV series valuable?Because "The Long Season" has found a tenacious survival strength in the very real Northeast narrative. This kind of power has the humor and self-deprecation of the Northeast people, but there is also perseverance and so on. The role presented by Mr. Fan Wei is really more like us in life.
Meritorious Service", "Meritorious Service: Old Things in the Northeast" is also a good drama that is easy to ignore. It is not an exaggeration to call this drama another version of "The Long Season". In this "Meritorious", what the audience sees is still the down-and-out middle-aged and elderly image brought by Teacher Fan Wei. The main reason why this image is heart-piercing is that he is too much like us in life. Therefore, "Meritorious" and "The Long Season" must be combined and watched together.
The drama "Hurricane" is too popular this year. I don't want to introduce too many TV series that are too popular, everyone knows it. Regarding the value of this play, I have also talked about it in my previous drama review articles. The story of "Hurricane" tells the world how a fishmonger like the male protagonist degenerated from a small businessman who did his duty to become a criminal. The TV series "Hurricane" should be watched in conjunction with "Warm, Sweet" directed by Liu Jiang. If we were all warm and sweet people in our lives, there would be no tragedy like "Hurricane".
I think that when we watch TV series, we definitely don't take the success history of the villain male protagonist as a cool point, but should reflect on how to avoid similar tragedies in our time. Drama critics should also have a bottom line, that is, to convey the greatest warmth to the society through their own film and television drama articles.
This place of peace is my hometown
This TV series, watched together with "Hurricane", may have a better sociological effect. "This Place of Peace is My Hometown" tells the story of the Fengqiao experience. To put it more simply, it tells the story of grassroots mediation. This kind of grassroots mediation is so valuable. We might as well think about it, if the fishmonger played by Zhang Songwen in "Hurricane" can have the staff in "This Peace of Mind is My Hometown" to help and mediate after encountering difficulties, there will really not be so many tragedies in the follow-up.
is still the same sentence, the TV series with the current life theme has a very clear social demonstration effect. "This Peace of Mind is My Hometown" talks a lot about grassroots mediation. These things can inspire everyone's life. In fact, this topic can continue to be done, aiming at the perspective of grassroots mediation, and talking about a large number of cases of grassroots mediation. There are a lot of contradictions, in fact, they can be explained in a few words. Our TV series works can play a role in resolving contradictions in "three words".
The TV series "Pearl River People" is the work of Mr. Gao Mantang. The characters in Gao Lao's pen all have their own cultural souls. "Pearl River People" is about Lingnan culture, from the perspective of Cantonese cuisine, Cantonese opera and Cantonese medicine. But at the same time, I think the greatest value of this TV series is that it tells how those who have ideals and pursuits can maintain their noble qualities in troubled times. Cantonese opera girl**, sworn to death. The male protagonist played by Yang Shuo achieves the anti-Japanese cause in a compromised way. This kind of noble in troubled times cannot be written unless there is a noble person in the heart.
Kunpeng Hitting the Waves" When I wrote this inventory, this TV series had only aired 4 episodes. I don't know if it's appropriate to list it as a commendable TV series after only watching 4 episodes. Please allow me to be "narrow-minded" and "hasty" personally. I think that this drama tells the story of where the individual will go, where our country and this nation will go, and where the two will go, and the unification has been achieved.
In fact, these TV dramas that I think are worthy of praise have a common feature, that is, they guide us personally to a better and nobler place, and guide our country and nation to a better tomorrow. In the creation of TV dramas, only with such a heart can we produce good works, be worthy of ourselves, and be worthy of the times. (Wen Ma Qingyun).
